Wind River Range seen from Photographer's Point, Bridger-Teton NF, Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, USA.

Wind River Range seen from Photographer's Point, Bridger-Teton NF, Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, USA. The Continental Divide follows the crest of the "Winds". Mostly composed of granite batholiths formed deep within the earth over 1 billion years ago, the Wind River Range is one of the oldest mountain ranges in North America. These granite monoliths were uplifted, exposed by erosion, then carved by glaciers 500,000 years ago to form cirques and U-shaped valleys.
